VISUALLY STUNNING FOLDING SLIDING DOORS HAVE

NEVER BEEN SO EASY TO FABRICATE AND FIT

Architectural door style in demandAs homeowners and housebuilders seek to improve their

homes and inject that elusive 'wow' factor, the stunning

bi-fold style of door has become an increasingly popular

choice. Panoramic doors enable large glazed ‘walls’ to be

created, flooding interiors with natural light and bringing

the outside into the home. The concertina-style folding and

sliding design enables the entire doorway to be opened

up, seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor spaces.

Aspect makes aspirations a realityTo help fabricators and installers meet this growing demand,

Eurocell developed Aspect – a high-performance, secure

and visually stunning PVC-U bi-fold door system that’s

designed for hassle-free fabrication and fitting. Aspect

offers all the aesthetic and functional benefits of timber and

aluminium alternatives, but at a more affordable price. It

incorporates a host of intelligently designed and precision-

engineered bespoke components that enable accurate,

consistent, straightforward fabrication and installation.

INTELLIGENT DESIGNCREATES THE LEADING PVC-U BI-FOLD DOOR SYSTEM

Aesthetics Door openings can be up to six metres wide, with up to

seven door panels. The unique roller assembly means doors

can be configured to meet customer preferences, including

the popular 4/2/2 configuration as well as simple 2/2/0

arrangements to replace existing patio doors.

A patented trim conceals unsightly black gaskets between

door leaves, creating a clean, attractive finish.

Doors require no dummy mullion – a patented feature –

creating an uncluttered door finish with equal sight lines to

rival any bi-fold door on the market.

Doors can be fitted with midrails and letter plates for front

entrances, and can even incorporate opening sashes within

the door.

Attractive, unobtrusive D-handle fits flat to the door frame,

enabling opened door leaves to sit neatly side by side –

maximising the size of the door opening.

Compatible with Eurocell Eurologik window and

conservatory systems.

Functionality Enclosed four-rail aluminium roller track provides smooth-

opening, easy-glide door operation

Unique Eurocell D-handle engages top and bottom shoot

bolts, and is specially engineered to prevent bolts being

engaged when the doors are open. Damaged shoot bolts are

the primary cause of rectification for bi-fold doors, resulting

from doors being closed with shoot bolts already engaged.

In-built rollers for a minimised threshold height as standard.

Flush fitting internal room dividing threshold available.

Part-M threshold double ramp available.

Unobtrusive, finger-operated shoot bolt for traffic door leaves

– designed for easy operation to engage both top and bottom

shoot bolts.

Angled threshold drip trim contoured to expel water and

maintain excellent weather tightness (can also be reversed

to act as a head drip trim).

Magnetic door stops keep doors neatly folded back.

Security Top rollers feature integral anti-jemmy pins, so that doors

cannot be removed by force from the outside.

All sashes are steel reinforced for superior strength

and rigidity.

Fully accredited The first bi-fold door of any material on the UK

market to gain BBA certification.

BS 6375 and PAS 24 accredited.

Secured By Design status has been achieved.


Co-extruded glazing gaskets ‘Grab’ hinge handle aids the opening and closing of multiple door leaves

MARKET-LEADING FEATURES



As a market-leading manufacturer of PVC-U profiles, Eurocell

understands that to remain competitive fabricators and installers

need high-quality products designed for simple, fast, accurate

fabrication and fitting.

We know that if you can quickly and repeatedly complete jobs

to a high standard, you will keep your costs down, improve your

profit margins and keep your customers happy. You’ll also have

fewer rectification call-outs once the job is finished.

That’s why Aspect panoramic doors have been purpose-

designed by Eurocell’s technical specialists to include a host

of features that enable quick and simple fabrication and fitting,

without compromising on the quality or appearance of these

stunning bi-fold doors. Here are just a few of the built-in benefits

for fabricators and installers:

Minimal welding, cutting and trimmingThe Aspect profile system is designed for bi-fold door

fabrication. That means minimal welding, cutting and

trimming for you – and a better quality, more consistent

finish to every panoramic door for your customers.

Compatible components for simplified stockholdingDoors feature a standard Eurocell Eurologik gasket and are

compatible with our patented Eurologik chamfered and ovolo

beads – so if you’re already fabricating Eurologik windows

and doors, there’s no need for additional stockholding.

Integral gaskets save time and moneyThe door profile and outer frame glazing gaskets are co-

extruded, so you won’t have to buy gaskets separately

and fit them yourself – saving you time and money.

Fewer components for faster fabricationAspect has been designed with no need for a dummy

mullion, reducing the number of components you

need to fit – for faster, more efficient fabrication.

Single roller-track colour for all door optionsA neutral-coloured anodised aluminium track is used

to complement all door colour options, so you won’t

have to stock a different track for every door colour.

FABRICATIONFAST, EFFICIENT AND CONSISTENT

INSTALLATIONHAS NEVER BEEN SIMPLER

Simple on-site adjustment Aspect doors feature a large clearance around door leaves,

allowing easy on-site adjustment for hassle-free installations.

Butt hinges are also adjustable, providing greater tolerances

when fitting the leaves. It means all doors can be fabricated

at the same time, since adjustments can be made on site to

ensure a precise fit.

Minimal mess and waste The slim-stepped outer frame reduces the amount of plaster

cutback required on site, speeding up installations and

generating minimal dust and waste.

Hassle-free handling and transportation Adjustable roller sets allow the doors to be easily jacked or

lowered into position on site. The outerframe can also be

mechanically jointed together on site, so the whole unwieldy

frame does not have to be delivered in one piece. That makes

transportation and handling much simpler and safer.

Snag-free hinge fittingAll hinges positively locate into the steel reinforcing for a strong,

secure finish.

Dual compatibility gasket slotsCombined wool-pile and gasket slots give you the freedom to

choose the type of seal required for each job. Both types of seal

fit into the standard slot, so they are easily interchangeable.

CASE STUDY

HOLLAND PARK ZERO CARBON DEVELOPMENT

Eurocell fabricator Victoria Windows and Doors has supplied

Aspect bi-fold doors to an award winning zero-carbon

development at Holland Park in Exeter. The developer, Heritage

New Homes, won Development of the Year South in ‘The

Bricks’ Local Authority Building Control Warranty Awards 2014.

Heritage New Homes designed the Holland Park properties

– a development of 40 luxury homes – to satisfy Zero Carbon

Emission standards.

Aspect from Eurocell was specified because it was the only

PVC-U bi-fold door system in the UK to gain BBA (British Board

of Agreement). The larger properties have two sets of bi-fold

doors, including a back and side wall arrangement to create

stunning panoramic corner views across the gardens. Aspect

French doors were installed on the smaller semi-detached

properties.

Anthracite Grey was specified, offering a striking contrast to

the timber cladding and white render of the exteriors, whilst

the white internal finish complements the light, bright, neutral

interiors of the luxury homes.

Being able to source all products required from Victoria

Windows and Doors in perfectly co-ordinated Eurocell colours

created a better aesthetic. It also allowed the developer

to save time and money thanks to the simpler sourcing

operation – a factor taken into account by the judges when

considering how site activity was managed and co-ordinated.

“Whilst designing the development,

the windows and doors were a very

important factor for us as they have

a significant impact on the energy

efficiency and aesthetics of a home”

Guy Oliver

Director, Heritage New Homes
